Paddan Canal Boat Tour
Paddan
A flat-bottomed boat sails along the 17th-century moats and canals. Duck under 20 low bridges and see the Old Town in one hour.
The Paddan boat departs from a pier beside Kungsportsplatsen and sails along the moats and canals designed by the Dutch. It passes the Trädgårdsföreningen park, the Fish Church, and the City Museum, then enters the harbor to see the Opera House and the shipyards. The trip takes about 50 minutes, with commentary in English and several other languages. Several bridges along the route are very low, so passengers must duck and bend down. A boat ticket costs about 200 Swedish kronor. Buy tickets in advance during peak season.
